Best Secondhand & Local Apps in Korea (2026)
Short answer
Buy, sell and find things locally. Our top pick is KREAM — Korea's sneaker and streetwear resell platform.
Buying and selling used goods locally is huge in Korea. Danggeun (known globally as Karrot) is the neighborhood marketplace; Bunjang is the larger nationwide platform.
Both are Korean-first apps, so a translation app and ideally a Korean phone number make them much smoother to use.

Frequently asked
What's the Korean version of Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace?
Danggeun Market (당근, 'Karrot') for hyper-local buying and selling by neighborhood. Bunjang is bigger and more nationwide.
Can I use Korean secondhand apps without Korean?
It's possible but harder — listings and chats are in Korean and sign-up usually wants a Korean number. A translator app helps a lot.
